Planned Parenthood doctors who’ve stopped performing abortions in Wisconsin will travel to Waukegan to serve their patients, who must travel outside the Badger State to receive an abortion in nearly all cases. 

Nurses, midwives, clinicians and other support staff will also be commuting from Wisconsin to a Planned Parenthood of Illinois clinic in Waukegan — which is less than 20 miles from the Wisconsin border — to help provide abortion services in the event of increased demand.
